Quote of the Day
“It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.” -Thomas Sowell This was a quote shared by one of my coworkers at work this past week. It seems like it could be a good response to some of the blogs I have read about the non-existence of God. 🙂 The deeper…

One Question
The speaker in church today shared a question that he was asked a few years ago while he was serving a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ. He, in turn, asked the congregation, “If you were to meet God, our Father in Heaven, face to face, what is the one question you…

SMH!
We bought a new table a few months ago. Recently, I found a folded tablecloth and thought it was kind of nice for summer and placed it on the table until I get ready to redecorate the house. (We have three more rooms to paint, then the downstairs. The decorating can begin after that.) We…

Great Questions!
My husband and I have started getting to know each other better via communication and spending quality time together. I have discovered a few new things about him. It was fun for me to learn that his favorite flower (he has a favorite flower??) is a Dahlia. My favorite are tulips. We both like roses…

Riverfest Fun
After the parade this morning, our grandson rode home with me so he could spend time with “Grammy and Papa”. Our 6-year-old grandson and I convinced (it didn’t take much) my husband to go with us down to Riverfest at Snake River Landing to meet our grandson’s mommy and daddy. We loaded my husband’s wheelchair…

Happy Independence Day!!
I am sitting at one of my favorite parks waiting for our local parade to start. Our 6 year old grandson is riding in the parade with a group called Champs Heart. They provide horse therapy for kids with autism and other special needs. Our town celebrates the 4th of July with a parade in…

A Wannabe Writer, Burgers, and a Paintbrush
I sat down tonight to write. It was going to be an exercise in writing fiction, using my imagination to write from story prompts. First, I wanted to start with one paragraph, then multiple paragraphs, then chapters, etc. It seems that my imagination is not deep enough to write anything interesting enough to read. My…

The End of a Week Long Vacation
At home. My vacation was spent at home. Should have been spent in northern Idaho, but my DH and I decided to stay home and repaint the interior main floor of our home. It took six half-days to paint the kitchen, dining, living room, hall bath, hallway, laundry room, and the walls along the stairs.…

Time
I have been thinking about time and the question, “What does it mean to waste time?” I was pondering this question while looking at the flowers in my garden. They don’t do anything with time, except grow, and maybe blow in the wind from time to time. What is their purpose? Are the wasting time?…

Counseling
What is the purpose? What good does it serve? Will it make any difference? It won’t change anything. Should it change anything? Or just change how I see things? I have an appointment shortly. I have been wondering what to say, how to start, where to begin. I’ve asked myself what I want to accomplish…

In My Own Words: The Big Flood
My DH said my blogs should be written in my own words, rather than written with the help to ChatGPT. So, you just get me and my own words on my blog. Sorry for your bad luck! 😉 Last evening after I returned home from a long day at work, it began to rain. From…

The Day I Pushed the Gear Shifter Through the Floor: A Driver’s Ed Tale
Turning 14 was an exciting milestone for me, not because it symbolized freedom or escapades, but because I could finally enroll in Driver’s Ed. My love for driving began long before I was legally allowed behind the wheel. It all started with a memorable experience in my grandpa’s pickup truck, where I got my first…
My chats, your inbox 🍲
Imagine…
the sound of chatter at a cafe
the quiet clicking of a keyboard
bird-chatter in the trees
Get comfortable… this is where I share stories, memories, and the everyday chatter of life.

About the Author
My husband and I raised three daughters together, and when I look back, it’s hard not to feel a deep sense of nostalgia, not just for their growing-up years, but for my own childhood, courtship, and the early days of our marriage. Those memories hold a little bit of everything, laughter, heartache, and a whole lot of love woven through it all.
I’ve found such joy in journaling, writing, and blogging about the things that matter most to me like God, family, life experiences, thoughts and opinions, memories, feelings, traditions, hobbies, and family history. There’s something important about putting these moments into words, about capturing them in a way that can be revisited and shared.
Through my stories, traditions, and reflections, I hope to connect with others who value these same simple, meaningful parts of life, and who might be willing to share a bit of their own stories, too.
Many of you already have, and that means more than you know.
